My first giveaway!

Friends,

I'm so excited. I finally get to host my first giveaway.While the blog has been up and running for a number of months, I've been blogging seriously for almost a month now, so I'm thrilled to be hosting my first giveaway as a way to celebrate my first big month. September has brought so many good things my way and I'm very grateful. I have new followers, and sponsors who are AMAZING and I've almost reached 10,000 views! Isn't that awesome?! That's a big deal for a small town girl like me who never would have thought anyone would want to keep up with what I do. So to celebrate I'm offering some great goodies to those of you that love knitting, vintage, coffee, professional photo editing and blogging.

Hello Darlings, I'm Autumn Bee, blogger from The Busy Bee and shop owner of Gypsybeee Vintage! I'm a wife, vintage hoarder, home maker, amateur chef, and stay at home mommy to two littles. On my blog you can find all things vintage (mostly focusing on mid century goodness), recipes, DIY projects, and all kids of other random things that inspire me. Come on over and say hello!

Hi everyone! I'm Alyssa and I blog over at Sugar, Spice, and a Dash of Advice. I write about everything in my life from baking to beauty to real life issues, and everything in between! I love to write about things that bring bits of happiness into my life. I love making new friends so come visit me sometime soon!

What's up for grabs from Meghan? 1 month large AD space and 5 professionally edited photos of winner's choice.

Hello friends! My name is Meghan and I blog over at eat.live.make. I am a Celiac who loves to get creative in the kitchen. I'm a health nut and am always soaking up ways to live a healthier, simpler and more peaceful life. There are several things that make my heart happy: Jesus, my husband, our dog Dakota, photography,playing outside,creating things and traveling! I'd love for you to come over and pay me a visit. Say hi and stay a while!

What's up for grabs from Vicki? 6 months of advertising on my blog with a 250x250 ad. This includes a monthly feature post about their blog/shop whatever they would like me to feature.

I'm Vicki. I live in a small country town in Australia with my completely amazing daughter (we shall call her Monkey). We are both obsessed with all things DIY and crafty. If you ever visited us you would our dining room table is always messy with our latest project. A couple of years ago we moved from the city to the country. I have to say that it's the best thing I have ever done. Life in the country is so different. Moving to the country somehow kick-started what I like to call my "Betty Crocker" phase (code for: I love to bake).

Ever since I was kid I have always loved home renovating, but we live in a rental (houses are expensive) and so I'm pretty limited in what we can do. Thankfully I have some awesome landlords who have allowed me to paint (they even paid for it!), and so room by room we are giving our place a "cosmetic" makeover. I sell things from around the house that we no longer need or use, and we put that money into new things to decorate the house with. (yes I am a frugal mum as well!)

And finally, what am I giving away?

I'm giving away a hand knit pair of Eyelet slippers, a mug cozy (both in a colour of your choosing!) AND Large Ad space on The Rural Knitter for 2 months!

So let's get to it.

- Please be honest with your entries. I'm going to look into all follows before picking the winner.

Welcome to The Rural Knitter. My name is Kayla. I live in rural Newfoundland, Canada and yes, it really is as cold and foggy here as you imagine it to be. It's always sweater weather here, so when I decided to take up a pair of knitting needles as a New Years resolution (to take up a hobby), I ended up with a very useful talent. I've only been knitting for a short while, but it has become a part of my life. (read more...)
